Sports massage treatment at Andrea Massage and Spa in Little Neck is a targeted massage designed to help athletes recover, prevent injury and improve flexibility. The work concentrates on the muscle groups your sport loads most, whether that is the calves and hamstrings of a runner, the shoulders of a swimmer or the hips and quads of a cyclist. Athletes and active clients from Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book it to stay consistent through training and to recover after competition.
Each session at our Douglaston Parkway studio begins with a conversation about your sport, your training schedule and any areas that feel tight or have been injured before. Your therapist then plans the pressure, focus and stretching around that picture. Clients on Google describe the therapist as professional and the massage as very good.
Firm, Targeted Work for Training and Recovery
Warming strokes prepare the tissue before the therapist moves into compression, friction and deeper pressure over tight or overloaded muscles. Assisted stretching follows, restoring range of motion through the hips, hamstrings, calves and shoulders. The pressure is firm and purposeful, and your therapist checks in throughout so the work stays productive and within your tolerance.
